I was wondering if there is a supplier who supplies poles with detachable, click on - click off brush heads similar to powerpoles?
-
Our new G-Fit range of aluminum goosenecks simply screw on to a standard pole in moments replacing a plastic angle crank and then they allow the brush to simply screw on an off.

cleantech do one as well

I think Sean is right, having a brush that can be instantly changed from a short or long pole or used as a hand tool for close encounters, saves time. But this usually means outside the poles supply, or small fast fit hose connectors which can slow you down a bit.

Have you the link,i have looked but can`t seem to find it on their website,are you sure it`s a quick release adapter?
cheers,Gaz

They are only for the unger poles so no good for most wfps,,unless there is another alloy adapter to fit the pole so it has the 2 holes like the unger so it can be removed,mmmm interesting,probably just need a alloy collar to fit the end then attach the unger adapter,

Im interested in the quick release for the brush head. Would be handy for certain situations for sure.

no it aint them

This is what you mean,it could be used it fits unger poles but if it was to be used on other poles it would need a collar on the pole so it has the 2 holes like an unger pole,then it would work,Gaz

The problem with most brushes is not the attachment of the brush to the pole as this just screws off but the hose attached to the back of the brush. Sometimes this just will not come off by hand and needs to be warmed up in a cup of hot water to release from the back of the jets.
If there was an inline snap connector in the hose as it comes out of the pole and then branches into the 2 back of brush jets, that would be great.

This can be done using John Guest push fit connectors,i already use them on my brushes,real handy,

Barbs and soft silicon hose allow it to easily pull off and push on, stays very pliable.
